3. In an aeroplane, a lifting plane, forward and rear balancing planesmounted,` thereon on each side, means connecting the forward balancingplanes with one another across the machine, iiieans connecting theforward and rear planes on the saine 'side of the. machine with oneanother, whereby l when one plane is projected the other one will bewithdrawn, and means Within control of the operator for actuating saidbalancing planes. e

Il.' In an aeroplane, forward and rear ele vating planes, pairs ofbalancing planes arranged -to be Withdrawn or pro]ected alteriiatelybeyond one of said elevatingplanes, a rudder, an oscillating bar andflexible means connecting it with said rudder, a second oscillating barand flexible means connecting At with said balancing planes, for thepurpose specified.

5. The combination, with the curved wing of an aeroplane, of two platesslidiiigly mounted at oi` near the outer end thereof on the forwardlyinclined front and back- Q wai-illy inclined rear sections,respectively,

and'means for simultaneously projecting one ot' said plates beyond andwithdrawing the other to the edge o't the wing section upon which it ismounted.

In witness whereof, I have hereunto set my hand this 24th day of March1910.
